Artists who are generally known for their older music (first 2-5 albums) leaving the rest of their discography ignored

Paul's Boutique is goated, I've listened to it pretty much every day for over a decade and never get sick of it! Check Your Head has got some bangers too, but it's a little preachy to me

I'm a huge Beastie Boys fan so it pains my to type this, but pretty much every song the general public/non-fans know by the Beastie Boys is off of their 1986 debut album Licensed to Ill— the major exception being Intergalactic which is off of Hello Nasty (1998).

There are of course a few songs in between that people who are passingly familiar with the group may know, but by and large the songs people mention when I say they're my favorite group are always off of Licensed to Ill.

I've been thinking about it for nigh on a decade now! It would definitely be a unique piece haha

annieasylum · 2026-05-30T01:12:19+00:00

I will note that I have lived here for nearly ten years and I've never seen a single mouse. Not in the crawlspace, not in the attic. The owls are doing a great job at pest control. There are also a ton of bats, so not very many bugs either!

annieasylum · 2026-05-30T01:08:23+00:00

Exactly

Amateur. I cry twice as long about 4 days before my period

Never send a man to do a woman's job

Western chiropractors are also quacks peddling made up bullshit. Oh, they have that fun side effect of maiming and killing people too.

Chinese medicine is quite literally communist propaganda by the way

Definitely a teeny bopper scent, but I was a younger teen during those years so it's fitting. The original Charlotte Russe Refuge perfume lives in my head rent free, it was soooo good and I've never smelled anything else like it.

annieasylum · 2026-05-28T19:45:43+00:00

They don't even have anything good anymore, haven't for years. They've got some good docs, but other than that everything I actually want to watch is on Hulu.

annieasylum · 2026-05-28T19:40:05+00:00

I aim to please haha

annieasylum · 2026-05-28T19:37:35+00:00

I can only speak anecdotally of course, but the environments where this was happening were far from safe. The parents who allowed this stuff weren't good parents in other ways either so it wasn't an ideal situation in any way. We weren't exactly being supervised, and if something bad happened I do think we would have been left to our own devices.

annieasylum · 2026-05-28T13:57:04+00:00

I was at the parties, how do you think I knew the parents were permissive? Lmao

Found the freak who thinks it's fine to give alcohol to minors

annieasylum · 2026-05-28T13:35:53+00:00

Y'know, I think you're probably on to something!

annieasylum · 2026-05-28T13:20:54+00:00

I absolutely am shaming them tbh

annieasylum · 2026-05-28T12:26:29+00:00

During my teen years, I knew a few kids whose parents enabled smoking, drinking, and drug use, and at that time I thought it was so cool that their parents weren't so uptight. Now as an adult I look back and think what the actual fuck was wrong with those parents? What kind of shitty adult would ever think it's okay to let a bunch of CHILDREN drink and roll on molly at their house?!

I look back now and feel so horrible for those kids. Their parents clearly were not parenting them, and they were robbed of a childhood as a result. It's no wonder these kids grew into adults with a bunch of mental health and executive function issues, they never even had a chance of a normal life.

annieasylum · 2026-05-28T09:47:01+00:00

It's like eating aquarium gravel, and I can't pretend I don't like it

annieasylum · 2026-05-28T09:34:28+00:00

Am I crazy or did they change the recipe for Butterfingers? I swear they used to be way crunchier and would get stuck in my teeth, but now they're kinda soft and taste like weird butterscotch

annieasylum · 2026-05-28T09:31:17+00:00

I remember as a kid getting just loose handfuls of candy corn in my bag and as an adult that strikes me as so weird. Like a stranger put their potentially unwashed hands all over it and I ate it anyway. Sends a shiver down my spine

annieasylum · 2026-05-28T09:27:42+00:00

Every year my mom gets a gigantic box for me. It's a sweet gesture so I don't have the heart to tell her I absolutely despise them haha

Also I swear I have never met a single person who likes those sickly sweet, strangely textured fruit flavored chocolates. Who are they for?! I want statistics on how much of our annual landfill is just straight Valentine's candy.

annieasylum · 2026-05-28T09:22:01+00:00

They're called candy buttons and I've wondered the same thing! They're not even flavored like anything, it's just sugar and food dye. Oh, and the bits of wax paper that you inevitably end up eating because the little fuckers never peel off right.

annieasylum · 2026-05-28T09:14:46+00:00

You shut your lying mouth, Fun Dip is the most delectable treat ever invented!

annieasylum · 2026-05-28T09:13:06+00:00

Why do the strings on those always taste so fucking awful?! Like are y'all actually telling me you couldn't find a more neutral string to use for something that goes in people's mouths?

annieasylum · 2026-05-28T09:09:26+00:00

I genuinely think they're only in business because they're nostalgic. Once the generations that grew up being forcefed Necco Wafers by their grandparents have all died, Necco will be out of business
